Presentation Information

Java EE has had dependency injection for quite some time now.  The problem is that each system (e.g., EJB and JSF) have been left to specify and implement the feature on its own.  This has led to multiple, not quite compatible implementations.  Delivered as part of Java EE 6, CDI (JSR 299, Contexts and Dependency Injection) attempts to fix that by specifying IoC semantics that can be shared across subsystems (EJB, JSF, JPA, JAX-RS, etc).  In addition to basic injection, CDI offers means of decoration and interception, as well as a light-weight pub-sub event system.  In this presentation, we will hit the highlights of the major features of CDI, giving you concrete examples to get you going in your own applications.

As developers most of us are not much concerned with security pass the authentication/autorization phase.

Presentation Information

In this presentation, we’ll take a “Hello, World” look at Android development. We will develop, from the ground up, a very simple application, covering such fundamental topics as Activities, Views, Menus, and data access. Time permitting, we’ll finish off the session with a quick look at testing your Android application. We won’t cover every topic and API available to developers, but you should leave with enough information to get you started on your own Android app.
